Furthermore, molecular genotyping studies are required to be conducted in Iraq to characterize the species and subtypes of Cryptosporidium infecting humans and animals especially during outbreaks. Therefore, Cryptosporidium parasite should be included in the routine diagnosis and surveillance system of ...
The study was undertaken to determine the prevalence and significance of Cryptosporidium infection in humans based on their regular contact with domestic animals. A total of six hundred fecal samples from respondents were examined for Cryptosporidium oocyst using the cold Ziehl-Neelson staining method. ...
The occurrence and species/genotypes of Cryptosporidium and Giardia duodenalis infecting humans in Tigray, Ethiopia were investigated, along with the risk associated with infection. Stool samples from 249 asymptomatic people (4-80 years of age) in four rural districts in Tigray and 58 from ...
Cryptosporidium infection remains a major public health issue, but its epidemiology in humans is still unclear, particularly in rural China. This study was designed to determine the prevalence of and risk factors associated with Cryptosporidium infection in a rural southwestern Chinese community. Methods...
and hygienic condition were found significantly (p< 0.05) associated withCryptosporidiuminfection in the calf. Similarly, the source of potable water, immunocompromisation and contact with domestic animals were found to be significantly (p< 0.05) associated withCryptosporidiuminfection in humans. ...
Cryptosporidium is a global epidemic parasite and one of the most important intestinal pathogens causing diarrhea in animals and humans. Despite extensive research on this parasite group, little is known about rates of Cryptosporidium infection in lesser pandas. In this study, we use molecular ...
Subsequently, if the sampling site was a hospital or another health care institution, and Cryptosporidium infection in patients attending the hospital was confirmed, the location coordinate of the institution was included as a Cryptosporidium occurrence point. If a Cryptosporidium infection was detected ...
Cryptosporidiosis is recognized as being a significant cause of gastrointestinal illness due to its wide range of vertebrate hosts, including humans. Infection with Cryptosporidium spp. is especially common in young domestic ruminants (calves, lambs and goat kids) and has been associated with economic ...
Cryptosporidium parvum and Cryptosporidium hominis are responsible for more than 90% of infection in humans.111 Infections caused by Cryptosporidium felis, Cryptosporidium meleagridis, Cryptosporidium canis, and Cryptosporidium muris have also been reported.112 Cryptosporidium is a relatively common cause of...
Cryptosporidiosis is a cosmopolitan, self-limited infection in immunocompetent hosts that affects all age groups and both sexes. In developing countries, the disease occurs most frequently in children younger than 5 years because of high rates of fecal-oral exposure and the development of partial imm...
